Mortals start from undercover

Chapter 225 Star Palace Tracing
Star City.

In a deserted hall, a Jindan cultivator is closing his eyes, waiting for the tranquility of the place.

I saw the plaque on the main hall saying "Eternal Life Palace".

There was a bronze lamp burning in the hall, and after the lamp oil burned, it gave off a faint fragrance.

Rows of neat lamps are placed in the center of the hall one by one, and each name is engraved on the bottom of the lamps.

On this day, the flames of a row of lamps swayed gently, and the flame of the top lamp suddenly went out.

The Jindan cultivator who was in retreat immediately sensed the movement in the hall.

When I came in, I saw that the lamp was out.

Looking at the position where the lamp was placed, it turned out to be the position of the Yuanying monk. When his spiritual consciousness scanned the name under the lamp, it was the three characters "Jin Jiuxiao".

"Elder Jin?"

Jin Dan's heart skipped a beat.

But he didn't dare to be professional, took out the letter to inform the superior, and confirmed that there was no false alarm.

One day later, it was confirmed within the Star Palace.

Jin Jiuxiao's soul left in the soul lamp dissipated without a trace remaining.

"Obviously dead!"

A Nascent Soul elder frowned and sighed.

"How did you die?"

"Is this important?" an elder asked, "Now, the key thing is that our star palace's reputation can no longer deter outsiders..."

"Could it be those who spread rumors?"

When the rumor was mentioned, everyone fell silent.

Since decades ago, various 'rumors' about the Twin Saints have been circulating near the Chaotic Star Sea.

Star Palace has been working hard to suppress these people who spread rumors!

But even though they were suppressed again and again, the rumors spread more and more widely.

Many elders of the Star Palace were also worried, and wanted to ask the Sages of Heaven and Stars to preside over the overall situation.

But these requests were all rejected with the excuse of 'a breakthrough is imminent'!
If it weren't for the Sages of Heaven and Stars who could show up from time to time to meet the elders of Xinggong Yuanying who came to pay their respects, I am afraid that these elders themselves would have jumped first.

However, according to the information obtained from the inside, the current situation of the Heavenly Star Twin Saints is getting closer and closer to those rumors.

That's why one person bluntly said that "Xinggong's brand" cannot deter outsiders.

"Hmph, no matter what, Elder Jin's revenge must be avenged..."

"Yes, I agree with this!"

Several others also agreed.

They are all beneficiaries of the star palace system, and naturally they must do their best to maintain such a system.

"However, Jin Jiuxiao has been reclusive since he was injured a hundred years ago. I have never heard of him encountering any danger..."

Several people couldn't help pinching their beards and frowning when they heard this.

"This statement is indeed true. I'm afraid this matter needs to be investigated!"

"That's all, let's investigate first. No matter which force it is or what the reason is for killing Elder Jin, you and I will punish him together!"

"agree."

"As it should be."

Several Yuanying old monsters reached a consensus on this.

……

Outer seas, deserted islands.

"Wow!"

Man Beard spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood, which fell on the brown sandy beach.

A stream of white sour gas emerged from the beach, and the poisonous blood melted a layer of mud and gravel.

"Very poisonous."

Man Beard sat down cross-legged.

Strands of poison are like spider threads, tangled together, entangled and extremely difficult to get rid of.

Man Huzi has a strong physique, but after being attacked internally and externally, it is inevitable that he will be a little weaker.

This time, after escaping from Li Su's hands, Man Beard devoted himself to getting rid of the residual poison in his body, but there was nothing difficult to get rid of.

I saw Manbeard vomiting out some smelly blood, then stabbing his chest with his fingers like a knife, and then bent his fingers into claws to tear off some flesh and blood organs.

These flesh and blood are all contaminated with the poison of the blue sky snake and green blood!
After the flesh and blood were removed one by one, the amount of flesh on Man Beard's body was reduced by nearly half.

Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a skeleton sitting on a beach reef, its internal organs are steaming with white smoke, and a black heart is beating vigorously in the purple-gold skeleton.

"call……"

After his body was 'ruined' like this, there was still no trace of fear on the bearded face.

It seems that he has already experienced such injuries, so that he dared to treat them like this after being contaminated with toxins.

"Fortunately, I am a 'half-demon body', and I also practice this "Tian Tian Demonic Skill". These ordinary injuries can't help me. As long as I don't have to be decapitated through the heart, it will be difficult to die."

After Man Beard finished talking to himself, he shook out a red storage bag.

A large amount of flesh and blood fell out of the storage bag.

Man Huzi's eyes were red, and the corners of his mouth were drooling. The skin that had been flabby was now covered with a layer of golden and purple scales, and a pair of purple and gold horns pointed at the sky obliquely.

"Wow!"

The large chunks of flesh and blood in Manbeard's storage bag were raw, but under Manbeard's sharp teeth, pieces of flesh turned into minced meat and were swallowed by him.

After an unknown amount of time, Man Beard hiccupped, and a stream of purple-black blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

He patted his shy stomach and looked at the injuries all over his body.

Everything is fine!

The residual toxins in the body are also cleaned up.

"but……"

Barbarian Beard touched his face.

A series of ugly wrinkles criss-crossing the ravines now covered his face.

"Damn, lifespan."

Man Beard cursed angrily.

Thirty percent of his lifespan was cut off by Li Su's poison, which was extremely fatal to Man Beard.

Although all the horrible injuries all over his body were healed, the lost lifespan could not be regained.

"Damn it, although eating the blood and flesh of monks can assist in rapid healing, practicing magic skills cannot help me prolong my life. Instead, it prevents many life-prolonging methods from taking effect on my body."

Man Beard was a little angry in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about this technique, and he didn't have the talent to improve it.

"Forget it, Xutian Palace, I'm going to gamble my life this time, if I don't find a way to prolong my life, I'll drag other people to die in it..."

A look of madness flashed across Man Beard's eyes, but he immediately regained his composure, and then became cloudy, like a tired old man.

"Xutian Palace is not in a hurry, collect the interest first!"

Barbarian Beard thought for a while and then sent out a talisman.

a few days later.

The 'truth' about Jin Jiuxiao's murder began to spread among the many islands and markets in the Chaotic Star Sea.

As the star palace whose ears and eyes are all over the sea, it will naturally know soon!

Tianxing Island, Five Elements Island.

Ling Yuling walked slowly on the small islands in the five lakes.

There are a lot of five-element spiritual objects collected by monks from the star palace, but they still don't meet Ling Yuling's requirements.

"Yuanci, Yuanci!"

Ling Yuling sighed in distress with her hands behind her back.

"It needs the law of the five elements to crack it, but how can it be so simple?"

As Ling Yuling gradually understood the plight of her parents, she also had a strong desire to help them out.

"Unfortunately, if it is the innate five spirit roots, it is much better than these acquired five elements."

After all, Ling Yuling suddenly smiled.

"Oh, I'm really stunned. If you are a Five Spiritual Roots cultivator, it will be great to reach the late stage of Qi training. It is impossible to become a Golden Core cultivator..."

As the most powerful force in Chaotic Star Sea, Ling Yuling learned some mysteries of spiritual roots from the classics of the Star Palace.

"The five spiritual roots were not so difficult to practice when the aura was abundant in ancient times."

"How about I personally cultivate a five-spirit root, and then help him achieve the golden elixir and then have a baby?"

Various thoughts flashed through Ling Yuling's mind, but she heard footsteps getting closer and closer.

"Little Lord."

The visitor knelt down a hundred feet away.

Ling Yuling, who was sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, turned her head and looked at a Jindan subordinate who came to report.

"What's the matter?"

The visitors did not dare to look at Ling Yuling, nor did they dare to look at their own body, because it was full of five elements.

"To report back to you, young master, I came here to..."

The visitor told the rumors again, Ling Yuling immediately frowned and said, "Is Elder Jin dead?"

"Ah, so that's what happened!"

Ling Yuling's mind immediately recalled Elder Jin's grandson. The 'second generation' seemed to rarely come to him.

Oh, no, it should be said that a hundred years ago, someone said that he was dead.

At that time, Ling Yuling was busy looking for a way to save his parents, and Jin Jiuxiao also retreated after being seriously injured, so Ling Yuling didn't pay attention to this matter.

However, this time, it was a 'Yuanying' who died!
"Such a big shot..."

Ling Yuling sighed in her heart.

"Miaoyin Island monster!"

Hearing his subordinate mention the 'Miaoyin Island', Ling Yuling also thought of that person.

"I was going to accept him as a slave..."

Ling Yu was inspired to find Dalu, and was ready to take in Li Su's subordinates.

Later, Li Su was also under this pressure and began to retreat to break through the Nascent Soul!

Unexpectedly, after returning from Miaoyin City, Ling Yuling temporarily forgot about this plan.

This time, when his subordinates mentioned Miaoyin City, Ling Yuling thought of this plan again.

"Is there a demon cultivator in Wonderland City?"

When Ling Yuling spoke, he was facing an open space.

In the direction of the open space, an old man appeared, and it was Elder Bai who guarded the way for him.

This man still looked like an old man. He touched his beard and shook his head: "Last time, when you and I went there, there was no Nascent Soul demon cultivator!"

"Oh, is it a lie?"

Ling Yuling lowered her head and looked at Jin Dan's subordinates again.

The other party swallowed nervously, and replied: "Reporting to the young master and Elder Bai, the rumor this time is not groundless. At first, the elders in the palace didn't believe it. Later, the rumor revealed the place and time of the battle..."

"The elders in the palace took action to check out a few people and got some peripheral information."

"At the time and place mentioned in the rumors, someone did indeed see someone fighting from afar."

"Moreover, the aftermath of that fight was far more powerful than the Golden Core cultivator..."

"so!"

Elder Bai turned his head and glanced at Ling Yuling.

Obviously, although this rumor came out of nowhere, it may not be groundless!

Ling Yuling was lost in thought.

"Miaoyin City is colluding with the demon cultivator in disguise?"

This rumor was very sudden, and then the next 'rumor' turned out to be 'the demon cultivator killed the elder of Star Palace'.

Daoxin was not specified in this rumor, and only one of the elders of Xinggong had died recently.

Jin Jiuxiao!
"Why would someone deliberately spread rumors?"

Ling Yuling is so smart, he naturally doesn't want to be led by the nose, and speaks to Elder Bai.

"I heard that the master of the Miaoyin sect also drove a Nascent Soul monster to fight against the enemy?"

"good."

Elder Bai nodded.

"The last time I went there, I never saw it."

Ling Yuling nodded when she heard the words, and then said to Elder Bai: "This matter is quite strange, and it also involves the elders of Xinggong. I will go and investigate it myself..."

"This?"

Elder Bai was taken aback.

"Isn't it not in line with the rules? It will arouse criticism from everyone!"

"Haha, you Nascent Soul elders are working hard and have many things to do..."

Ling Yuling laughed and spoke in an evasive manner.

"Just leave this matter to me!"

Elder Bai frowned and thought for a while, then said: "If the young master gives up some of his interests, he will definitely get the consent of the elders."

"Can!"

Ling Yuling nodded immediately.

In the Star Palace, the Heavenly and Star Twin Saints suppressed all dissatisfaction, but there were many hills, and internal conflicts could not be achieved solely by fists, but by a lot of negotiation and reconciliation.

On behalf of the 'Shuangsheng', Ling Yuling gave up the division of the 'interests' under Jin Jiuxiao's name, and it was not difficult to switch to his own authority to investigate the cause of Jin Jiuxiao's death.

"Elder, come with me to the City of Wonderful Sound."

"Yes."

Elder Bai agreed hesitantly, but added another suggestion.

"Young master, since Jin Jiuxiao can be killed, please bring more guards of Yuanying elders when we go out to investigate the cause of his death this time!"

"Good, good, good!"

Ling Yuling responded without looking back, and plunged into the embroidery building on the island.

After a few hours.

Two new Nascent Soul monks are on standby.

Including Elder Bai, there were three people waiting outside the Xiulou.

After a long time, the delicate red door of the embroidered building opened, and a noble girl of unparalleled youth and beauty walked out.

Several Nascent Souls were also well-informed people. The two newcomers looked at each other, and then looked at Elder Bai in unison.

When Elder Bai saw Ling Yuling's appearance after returning to the embroidery building, he was shocked at first and then shook his head with a wry smile.

Seeing the eyes of his two colleagues, Elder Bai shook his head slightly.

The three of them lowered their eyes tacitly and didn't say much.

Ling Yuling didn't pay attention.

Just now, she remembered that she was going to Miaoyin City, so she subconsciously returned to the embroidery building.

Sit in front of the bronze mirror and stare at the person in the mirror.

Ling Yuling subconsciously picked up the eyebrow pencil and the gold fork of flower tin to tie up the exquisite hair accessories.

The four of them went all the way to the City of Wonderful Sound.

Looking at this bustling little town, Ling Yuling felt a little timid.

But before she could get used to it, the three walked around behind her, surrounding her.

Ling Yuling knew that this was a 'Yuanying' coming from behind!
After Ling Yuling, the three veterans of the Star Palace, protected him, a rainbow light in the distance revealed his real figure.

"It's him!"

Ling Yuling's heart skipped a beat.

"Yuan Ying?"

The aura coming from Li Su couldn't be faked, how could Ling Yuling not recognize his cultivation level!
Unexpectedly, after a few years of separation, he has already become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"What a young Nascent Soul cultivator!"

One of the old guards sighed in a low voice.

"Old Bai, do you know each other?"

Another guard asked.

When Elder Bai looked at Li Su who was floating in the air, was he less surprised than Ling Yuling?
"Yes!"

Before he could speak, he listened to Ling Yuling and asked, "Elder Bai, have you sensed the aura of the transformation demon cultivator?"

"This... no!"

The three guards shook their heads in unison.

The three people who were chosen to protect Ling Yuling were naturally not ordinary monks and knowledgeable.

Obviously, no small mistakes can be made!
"And what about this person?"

"In the early days of Yuanying, he had just broken through, and he could tell from his aura."

"But this person's foundation is very solid. Even if he has just broken through the Nascent Soul, he doesn't have any sense of vanity!"

"Yes, his physique seems to have been specially trained, and he may have special physical training methods!"

The three of them talked about each other and analyzed most of Li Su.

"Can this person kill Elder Jin?"

"This……"

This question stumped several people.

"If we communicate with a few other people, it's not impossible!"

"Forget it, I'll go up and check first."

Ling Yuling pushed aside a few people, and the more people came out, the more they spoke.

"Fellow Taoist Creation..."
